"Which the Civil Power Can Not Disregard Eovero Criticism hy the Itndlcal Journals. Ferry Htlclcs to His Aflscrtlon. ICni/i/rfoM 'SS3 l > v Jama Oortton Jif.nnttt. } PAJIH , Juno21 , | Now York Herald Cable Special to TUB Bni : . | In a speech deliv ered last Monday at the National Republican association banquet , M , Jules Ferry accent uated the declarations ho had previously tniiOo In the chamber of deputies. Ho was very energetic in his condemnation of the ngltntlon In favor of revising the constitu tion. The Idea of convoking the constitu ents and modifying the constitution at a tlmo when republican Institutions wcro exposed to attack on every hand was said by M. Ferry to bo nn aberration. The terms In which the opportunist leader Insisted on the necessity of concluding pence between the church nnd ntnto wcro not worthy. It was this part of his speech In the chamber which most excited thojro of M. Clomcnccau , but , far from re- trar.tmg nny of his opinions , M. Ferry reiter ated his statement , that religion In Franco represented a great moral force which.the civil power could not disregard , and with which it should avoid all quarrels. As might have been expected , the radicals have taken umbrage at these declarations , and their organs take M. Ferry severely to task , The Justice , Lantornc nnd o'hor news papers of tha same shade of opinion declare n retrograde policy of I'onkincrs can not bo accepted by the republican party. A re vision of the constitution is , they say , both necessary nnd urgent In some Instances. They pretend that the national assembly was not qualified to draw up a constitution for France. The conservative Journals Join with the radical organs m criticising M. Ferry's speech. M. DoCassagnnc Is for once with M. Clcmcnceau. Accordingly , In his defense of the existing constitution , M. Kerry has to deal with radicals , monarchists and Bou- langlsts. Howover. ho has the , support of all members of the moderate party , nnd his programme exactly answers to tbo desire of the majority of the population , : vs the whole people of France want not a change of gov ernment , but order , tranqulllty and religious tolerance. M. Ferry's language would con sequently bo well received throughout the country if his personal situation and remem brance of his past policy did not detract Irom Its effect. The conservatives , for their part , have no confidence in him. In his mouth liberty of conscience , religious peace and tolerance are but as ram words , for It can not bo .forgotten that It was Ferry who expelled' religious orders from the soil of Franco ; that it was Ferry nnd the oppor tunist party who weeded out from the ranks of the magistracy those who were suspected , r with or without reason , of clericalism ; that os a sop to the Ccrcberus of radicalism the opportunists adopted the formula , "Lcs cures nao nil dos , " nnd that regulation of schools nnd hospitals was in the beginning tholr work. Nor can It bo forgotten that In obedience to the injunctions of the radical ? , the Ferrys were among the llrst to declare themselves in favor of a partial revision of the constitution ; that tholr policy , when they were in power , was a constant pandering to radical opinions. If It wcro possible to believe the opportunists sincere nt this junc ture , the past might bo forgotten , but they have not broken tholr faith with the ad vanced section of the extreme left. Their camps are still allied in view of the election. When the requirements of the situation will force on Ferry's ' partisans to vote for nn ex pression of the budget , , and for a revision of the constitution , the moderate republicans allied with tlio ex-communists i certainly a curious spectacle.

It is not denied tnat nno of the scan dals of President Cleveland's administration was the open defiance Ot the civil service law by Aqullla Jones. The last civil service commission white washed the Indianapolis postmaster , and he wont on us ho had begun until the close of the last administration. Even the Now York World admits that the understanding now is , that the law is not to bo violated with impunity. The charges against the postmaster at Troy were. promptly investigated , and now at India- nopolis , if the account may bo believed , the commissioners have gone to the rdot of the matter. It is believed that there is still plenty of work to be done by the commission in Washington , New York , Baltimore and Philadelphia. President Harrison , the friends of the administration insist , may have boon opposed by the self-choson guar dians of civil service reform anil may not have been elected on that issue , but ho be lieves in the reform and will carry it into effect.

The Sun hns nd- vlcos from Caracas , Venezuela , undbr data of Juno 10 , stating that the first peaceful revolution that the republic has over had has been accomplished. The reign of Our- nan-Ulancn has ended , The military despot ism that existed In Venezuela for u quarter of a century Is auollshod , nnd there are con stant demonstrations of gratification by nil classes. That the situation may bo understood , It must bo known that General Guznan-Ulnnco , since ho first came Into control of the government In 1STO , has scorned to regard Venezuela as his own property , to do with na hodoshcd. Ho has boon the uncrowned czar , and his government an absolute despotism. Guznnn-Blauco has filled the presidential chair every alternate term dur ing the last nineteen years , nnd between times has placed In power a dummy , who was entirely subject to his will. His many nets of tyranny have awakened hostility that has only boon suppressed by military force. Two years ago , at the oxuiratlon of his presidential term , ho loft thn country nnd has since resided m Paris. Ucforo going no gnvo himself credentials as envoy .ontraordlnnry nnd minister pleni potentiary to nil European powers. Ho placed In the presidential chair Dr. IBojas Paul , ono of the ablest citizens of the repub lic , who had previously been prominent In public affairs for ninny years. During the past year the broach uotxvcon the president and dictator hat been widening. President Paul , fearing that Guzrnui would Incite revolution , began same months ago to grad ually depose from tholr commands the loading officers of the army who were supposed to bo lu sympathy with the man In Purls nnd re placed them with men in whom ho had con- flilcnco. This called out nn Insulting protest from Guzimti , but Paul was sustained by the people and did not swerve from his course , A steamer which arrived from Europe on May 27 brought letters from Gimian to the president of such a character as to bring matters to a crisis. The following day Ijr. Paul sent to congress his resignation as'prcs- idont. * Everyone know ho had received letters from Paris and had been directed to do what ho had done. As soon as tboact was known the people closed their business and sur rounded the cnpltol , and within an houraftcr his resignation was received 20.000 men were shouting themselves lioarso with denuncia tions of ( ! uznan and praise for Paul. That night the entire population of Caracas gathered in the Plaza Washington , whcro they wore nddrebsed by several orators , who spoke ttio unanimous sentiment of the com munity that President Paul should continue in ofUco regardless of tbo demands of Guziian-l.ilanco. The following day the pres ident withdrew his resignation , and after passing u resolution of confidence in him con gress adjourned in great haste. The intentions of Giunan are not known , but it Is not thought probable ho will allow Dr. Paul to .remain In power ft ho can pre vent It.
